Why is salvation described as being free yet requiring a price?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is free for believers but was purchased at a great cost by Christ's sacrifice.

Isaiah 55 describes salvation being offered without money, emphasizing that it is a gift of grace. While it is free for those who believe, it came at the high price of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. It suggests that believers are receiving a gift that cost another, specifically the Lord Jesus Christ who paid for the sins of His people. This is often understood in the context of substitutionary atonement, where the price for our redemption was paid by Christ alone for those whom He chose.
